The Funny Thing Is...

Ellen is amazing! She can take the most common thing and make it funny. The is audio keeps you smiling and laughing from beginning to end.

I should have read the reviews before I ordered this. Ellen is funny but this audio lacked a lot in the humor department. Half way through the second CD I gave up on hoping that this would get better. Oh well.....

Not good. I didn't even make it through the first cd before I sent this back. I love Ellen, but man this was boring. Her quirkyness just doesn't work for this type of media I don't think, it came off as childish and a bit ridiculous. I read the reviews and rented this anyway, just to see if the naysayers were right....and they were. To reiterate, don't bother with this one.

The funny thing is this book is not funny. I hated it and would strongly recommend against wasting hours of your life listening to it.

Ok, sorry to say this...don't bother. Perhaps it was my mood but I was NOT entertained by this book at all. I kept fast-forwarding. I kept waiting for it to get interesting...never did.

I wish I would have read the reviews before checking this one out. I forced myself to listen to the first CD in the hopes it would get better. It was simply a compilation of random 'not funny' thoughts and humorless segues by the author. Actually a segue is a smooth transition and hers were far from it--more like choppy and irrational. Don't punish yourself. In fact Simply Audiobooks could do us all a favor and remove it from their shelves.

I love Ellen & expected greater things from this book. I have seen her do much better work. There are some very funny parts, but mostly, she just rambles.

Love Ellen!!! Loved this audiobook!! I laughed out loud through much of the book. Made my commuting fun for a change.

I love Ellen, but this book on tape was actually very boring. I smiled, but I didn't laugh.
